Marked with the distinctive red line normally found on Canon's professional lenses, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 offers large-format photo prints up to 17" wide in up to 2400 x 1200 dpi resolution. This professional photographic inkjet printer can print borderless at up to 17 x 22" as well as work with thick 27.6 mil fine art media.

The PRO-1000 features Canon's outstanding FINE printing technology with a large print head. This is leveraged with an 11-color LUCIA PRO pigment-based ink set and a Chroma Optimizer cartridge to create prints with fine detail and a wide, accurate color gamut. The Chroma Optimizer cartridge improves color consistency on coated papers and reduces the difference in ink droplet height to ensure a smooth ink layer and less metamerism.

Mobile Ready

Connectivity is a highlight of the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000, with USB 2.0, Ethernet, and built-in Wi-Fi options available. Wireless printing furthers the printer's capabilities by adding compatibility with Canon's PRINT App, PIXMA Cloud Link, and PictBridge.

The iOS/Android PRINT App allows users to wirelessly transfer images and files for print from a mobile device, as well as remotely monitor ink levels and printer status. PIXMA Cloud Link provides access to Google Cloud Print for printing documents directly from cloud-based servers. As a wireless PictBridge enabled printer, the PRO-1000 lets you link a PictBridge compliant device such as a compatible digital camera or smartphone to the printer through wireless LAN, and print captured images directly without using a computer.

FINE Print Head

The imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 uses Canon's FINE printing technology with a 50% larger print head than in previous offerings. FINE (Full-Photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) works with 1,536 nozzles for each color to produce impressively detailed prints on a variety of fine-art papers with deep blacks and accurate quality colors.

Anti-Clogging

The FINE print head institutes a tubular ink delivery system. This generates faster print speeds and reduces the possibility of clogging. Additionally, ink ejection conditions are precisely checked with sensors, and if a clog is detected, another nozzle automatically provides backup, preventing wasted prints due to clogging and reducing the frequency of nozzle cleaning.

LUCIA PRO Inks

A set of 12 individual ink cartridges consists of 11 standard inks and a Chroma Optimizer cartridge that improves color consistency on coated papers and reduces the difference in ink droplet height to ensure a smooth ink layer and less metamerism. The 11 standard inks include four monochrome inks that reduce bronzing, increase black density, and expand dynamic range in the shadows for excellent grayscale prints.

Fast Image Processing Engine

Equipped with the L-COA PRO Image Processing Engine, the PRO-1000 can quickly and accurately determine printing paths and patterns in order to work as quickly and efficiently as possible. This enables bordered 17 x 22" photos to be created in just 4 minutes 10 seconds while a two-way vacuum feeder keeps media flat and quickly and accurately feeds the media.
